Author's Notes: you guys didn't answer my question from the previous chapter...I need your guys' opinion whether I should have Haruka confess her love the night of the dance, at school, or a few months later...I don't know yet for me. Most probably at the dance, don't worry...there's a twist at the end. I repeated it...so please help me!!!

Haruka went to Paul's house cuz that's where the guys were playing video games. Haruka walked inside the house and turned off the PSII.

"Hey!!! I nearly beat the final boss!" Paul yelled. But he softened up when he saw that Haruka wasn't herself and looked bloodshot.

"You ok Haruka?" AJ asked.

"I need your help and advice," Haruka said in a whisper.

Mamoru asked, "this about Michiru?"

Haruka solemnly nodded, "I think I'm in love with her, but I'm afraid that she will break up with me like the other girls during Junior High."

Paul said, "You keep on telling us that Haruka. Could you at least explain to us what happened?"

Haruka closed her eyes and slowly answered, "Fine, I'll tell you. Only when I was with Stacey in 7th grade."

AJ and Mamoru nodded when Haruka continued.

"It all started..."

*7th grade flashback*

Stacey, the cutest girl in 7th grade, went to her girlfriend, Haruka Tenoh. Haruka Tenoh was a loner, but a 'cute' loner that is. They've been going out for a while now, 2 months to be exact. Haruka tried to forget her former girlfriend, Emily who was going out with Charles.

Haruka was little protective, but not too much in which would scare Stacey away. Haruka trusted her, yet didn't want her seeing anyone...especially Nick. Nick was the hottest 8th grader but seemed to like Stacey and despised Tenoh. Stacey was thrilled knowing that the hottest guy in junior high had the hots for her.

It was a Saturday and Haruka had to go to the store to get stuff for her project. She somehow unexpectedly saw Nick leaning on a wall trying to steal a kiss from Stacey. Haruka walked up to him and yanked him off the wall.

"What's your ****in' problem Tenoh!" he cursed.

"Why don't you leave my girlfriend alone ****ard??!!!" she shot back.

Nick backed up a bit, then punched her straight across the face causing her to stumble and land on the ground.

"What are you doing?? Stop it Nick!!" Stacey demanded.

Nick ignored her plea and pulled her up, and have her a jab in the gut. Haruka would have slumped if he wasn't holding her collar. He jabbed her again and again. Haruka couldn't defend herself because she was in pain and hadn't train herself after her parents' death.

He dropped her and growled, "What cha' gonna do now Tenoh!?"

Haruka groaned and coughed, Nick kicked her in the gut causing her to curl up in a ball. He grabbed her hair making her stand up. He let her cough a bit, then punched her left eye and upper-cutted her chin.

"I'll let your so called girlfriend talk to you now," Nick said mockingly.

Haruka looked up and saw Stacey speak, "Great job Nick, you're the greatest."

Haruka looked shocked and speechless; Stacey bent down to her and gave her a hard slap across the face. -So this was all and act?- Haruka thought.

"That's for being weak, we're through Tenoh," she said in a sickening sweet voice.

She left clinging onto Nick's arm. Haruka stood up, trying to ignore the pain, went straight home. She cursed herself for being stupid and promised herself, if it happened one more time...she would never trust a girl again.

The next day, she went to the gym and started to train, she went everyday after school. And even when school got out, she trained herself to build her strength, and walls up.

*End of Flash Back*

"...I've been training ever since," Haruka finished.

AJ, Paul, and Mamoru sat there astounded.

Yes, yes, I know it's painful...but I had to have a different way for Haruka to dumped from the last chapter. Well, I still need your opinion on whether Haruka should confess at the dance or school.
